Honesty like alcohol
is best in small doses.
Too much at once
makes you obnoxious,
cloying,
annoying,
till you start speaking truths
which no one else should hear.

Honesty like alcohol
makes you feel giddy,
and makes you feel better,
as your virtue resounds,
certainly better
than those you're around.

Honesty like alcohol
leaves you hung-over,
sometimes forgetting
just what you said,
and convincing some people
you'd be better off dead.
